Top 3 cards of Ruth, Cobb, and Shoeless Joe

[ullmandds]

And speaking if m101-6 ruth...have there even been many recent sales????

[Leon]

For Ruth, it's not the most expensive but certainly is one of his most desired cards. And for Cobby, maybe a T206 RED......and for Joe J....maybe a CJ.

Ruth:

1933 Goudeys of course
1933 Sport Kings
1921 Frederick Foto definately deserves a mention

Ty Cobb:

e101
Cracker Jack
Maybe E120 or 1921 Exhibits?

Shoeless Joe:

E90-1
Cracker Jack
m101-4 or m101-5????

Just my opinions.

I'm going with the budget versions of the cards because I think most chase these cards knowing others are way too expensive:

Ruth:
Kashin

Cobb:
E121

Jax:
W514 strip

You could probably get a WG card of Jax that might look a little better than the W514 for a bit less money.

That's true. I don't collect the game cards so I was thinking more along the lines of sets, but the game is a set too.

Joe Jackson: Texas Tommy
Babe Ruth: E121 Throwing
Ty Cobb: T3, T227

I'll guess these 3 (not in any specific order) for each...

Cobb:
1914 CJ
W600
1907 Postcards

Ruth:
1917 Boston Store / Collins McCarthy
1915 Red Sox Team Postcard
Frederick Foto

Jackson:
1914 CJ
E-90
M-101 (ad back)

Now because you own a Frederick Foto it’s more important than an M101 Ruth rookie??? Get real!!!!!

So many other spectacular Ruth scarcities including his 1928/29 Star Player Candy issues; 1921 National Caramel, 1933 Uncle Jacks and his 1920 M101-6 Felix Mendelssohn Yankees issue. FYI, one of Ruth’s RAREST cards just might be his 1917-1919 M101-6 Felix Mendelssohn BOSTON version. I have seen only ONE surface in the past 10+ years, and know of only one other example.

I guess I would squeeze the 1910 Clement Brothers Ty Cobb somewhere on this list. Any issue of one of these guys with a combined pop of 5 or less definitely has more demand than supply.

My vote on Cobb...

1907 W600
1907 Seamless Steel Tubes postcard
1910 Hubel or 1908 ALPC
